Disconcert is a state of mind that has nothing to do with
sadness or melancholy but is all about disillusionment and irony.
Claudio Piunti comes to painting after ten years of reclusion,
when he obtains his first permits to visit family. He signs his
works with the pseudonym Vami. A recurring figure in his
paintings is “the disconcerted one” since he states that
disconcert is the feeling that binds him to the world outside the
prison walls.
